Pseudo parameters

There are parameters provided by Heat separately to the input parameters. These parameters can be referenced using the embedded function get_param, in the same manner as for the parameters defined using the template.

Parameter name	Description
OS::stack_name	The name of the stack.
OS::stack_id	The ID used to identify stacks.

The following is an example of a template that makes the name of the virtual server name the same as the name of the stack.

resources:
  server:
    type: OS::Nova::Server
    properties:
      name: { get_param: "OS::stack_name" }
...

Note: If the stack name is "sample_stack" then the name of the created server will also be "sample_stack".
